Silverton may sue doc over laser treatment
British news presenter Kate Silverton is threatening to sue the doctor who conducted the laser skin-rejuvenation procedure that temporarily disfigured her.
Silverton, 37, underwent the treatment to have acne scars removed and to improve her skin tone; however, her face ended up swollen and covered in painful sores and lumps, the Daily Telegraph reported.
She was also forced to take two weeks off from her job at the BBC, the report said.
Although Silverton is now back to work, she told her attorneys to begin proceedings against the Jan Stanek clinic in London.
"It's been awful. I went in to get some minor scarring on my cheeks treated. I was told it would be a routine procedure and I'd be back to work in days. The treatment, however, caused a massive skin reaction," Silverton told the Telegraph.
Acne And Rosacea Getting You Down? Laser, Light And Cosmetic Treatments Give Patients A Much Needed Boost
It is estimated that approximately 50 million people in the United States alone are affected by acne vulgaris, and another 14 million Americans experience the redness, flushing and pronounced blood vessels associated with rosacea. While there are no cures for these persistent skin conditions, dermatologists are broadening their treatment options to include laser, light and cosmetic therapies that are proving effective in managing these conditions and improving patient satisfaction.
Speaking at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologist Jenny J. Kim, MD, PhD, FAAD, assistant professor of medicine and dermatology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), in Los Angeles, Calif., discussed the latest approaches for treating acne, acne scarring and rosacea with laser and light therapies by themselves, in combination with each other or with cosmetic treatments, such as fillers.
Skincare for Acne: Newest Skin Care Solutions for Scars and Blemishes
Skincare-News.com discusses advanced treatment options for acne scars. Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) January 30, 2008 -- Acne can cause a host of changes in the skin and, leave behind a few parting gifts: scars or hyper-pigmentation. But can these marks ever be vanquished? Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Options for Acne Scars," discusses several brand-new advanced treatment options available which can improve the appearance of acne scars.
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=500 What are acne scars? According to Skin Care: Beyond the Basics, (acne) scars form when "the skin, in a desperate attempt to heal itself, produces lots of collagen to try to compensate for the lack of normal skin functioning." The result can be anything from a red spot or macule, to a raised scar to the typical 'pit' scarring commonly seen with more aggressive forms of acne.
Alternative Candy Bars Fight For Taste Buds
The peanut butter flavor is not well-defined, the crunch is muted and the chocolate is indifferent at best in flavor and very waxy. Grade: C. Hershey's Take 5: 210 calories, 11 grams fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 180 mg sodium, 25 grams carbs
Most candy fans will tell you that the salty-sweet contrast is one of their favorite tastes. At first, the Take 5 bar looks like a kitchen chemistry project some of those candy eaters might undertake while on a chocolate-covered pretzel jag. There's a lot going on here: peanut butter, pretzels, caramel and toasted peanuts, all wrapped in chocolate. And it works. All the flavors play well together, but they all manage to retain their identities nicely. This is a really great candy fix, and surprisingly innovative coming from one of the big names in the business.
Prayer and healing
In some cases, the healing can be manifested in a physical sense.
Dennis Smith, 61, of rural Harrisburg severely injured his left calf in a work accident in 2005. The tissue healed, but he suffered from a constant itching sensation under the skin. The nerves were damaged, and no medication or cream relieved the feeling. He heard about the healing service and decided to go, even though he's a member at the First Assembly of God Church.
"My faith makes me believe that there is a healing power from the Holy Spirit to our earthly body as well as spiritual body. I went to get relief from the infirmity, believing that relief could be had," he says. During the service he went to the altar and knelt before the minister.
"Pastor Barb anointed me with oil, laid hands on my head and shoulders and prayed for my relief."
He didn't get instant relief but noticed days later that the intensity of the feeling was easing.
